Report Predicts Job Growth In Green Sector
InTech (12/11) reported, "There are certain types of manufacturing jobs that are going away forever. However, green collar jobs present the next frontier for US manufacturing," a new report from Duke University indicates. "Highlighting the direct linkages between low-carbon technologies and US jobs, Duke researchers" suggested that "US manufacturing should grow in a low-carbon economy. Their report, 'Manufacturing Climate Solutions,' provides a detailed look at the manufacturing jobs that already exist and would come about when the US takes action to limit global-warming pollution." According to the report, "there are five carbon-reducing technologies with potential for future green job creation: LED lighting, high-performance windows, auxiliary power units for long-haul trucks, concentrating solar power, and Super Soil Systems (a new method for treating hog wastes)."
